Help with kubuntu

Hey, I managed to get Kubuntu 7.04 up and running alongside Vista thanks to the help of some helpful members of the forum. When I first booted Kubuntu off of the Live CD I was met with the most god-awful feedback although I hoped that this may be because I was running the OS from the system however after installing the OS I am still experience this high-pitched whine. I presume that I need to find an updated driver however I am interested to know if anyone else has experienced such a problem and also how they solved it.

Thanks for your time!

 

interesting... I got a similar problem...

to shut off sound, open a terminal, type "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" this will at least not melt your ears off.

try looking in your home directory for a file called .asoundrc and .asoundrc.asoundconf

you could open a terminal (Konsole in KDE,) which should already be in your home directory, and type "ls -a | grep .asound"

if you get any results, delete them. "rm -f .asoundrc*"

or you could open Konquerer and show hidden files.

this worked for me at least.

 

Cool thanks when I told my friend this also helped him.

 

Code:

find / -name .asoundrc -exec rm -f {} \; 2>/dev/null

Type that in EXACTLY as I have it at a command prompt, and it will remove all instances of .asoundrc that your user has access to. But you can usually just type:

Code:

rm -f ~/.asoundrc

and have it accomplish the same thing.
